How to get free Pyroxenes in Blue Archive

A complete, curated guide to every real method for getting free Pyroxenes in Blue Archive, with an estimate of how much you can earn per month.

Pyroxenes are Blue Archive's premium currency, the tactical RPG set in Kivotos where you play as Sensei, leading the students of Schale. Pyroxenes are used for recruitment (the game's gacha): a single invite costs 120 Pyroxenes, a ten-pull costs 1,200, and the pity system guarantees the rate-up student once you've accumulated 200 recruitment points — that's 24,000 Pyroxenes if you do it entirely with free currency. That's why getting Pyroxenes without spending money is every F2P Sensei's obsession. This guide runs through every confirmed free source, from most to least reliable, according to the community: daily and weekly missions, the Total Assault raid, the Arena (PvP) ranking, Story and Mission events, first-clear rewards from the Main Story and Bond Stories, and redeem codes or maintenance compensation. We've included ballpark figures for each source and an estimated monthly total so you can plan your recruitments wisely.

What's the fastest way to get Pyroxenes in Blue Archive?

We've gathered and verified every real method for getting free Pyroxenes, ranked from most to least profitable based on the time they take and what you can actually earn from each. No tricks, no generators — just the game's own mechanics.

1
~20/day Daily

Daily missions

Completing the full set of daily missions (leveling up students, upgrading gear, winning battles) nets you around 20 Pyroxenes a day if you clear all of them. It's the most reliable source because it resets without fail every 24 hours and doesn't depend on events or luck. Over the long run, it's the backbone of any F2P player's monthly income in Kivotos.

2
~120/week Weekly

Weekly missions

On top of the dailies, there are weekly missions with broader goals (number of battles won, cumulative upgrades, progress in specific modes) that award around 120 Pyroxenes for a full week. They add up at no extra time cost if you're already playing daily, so it's worth checking them before the week resets.

3
~1,200 per boss (top 10,000) Biweekly

Total Assault (raid)

The Total Assault raid hands out Pyroxenes based on your rank in the damage leaderboard against the current boss; placing in the top 10,000 usually earns around 1,200 Pyroxenes per boss. Since there are typically two boss runs a month, this is one of the biggest recurring sources for an F2P player. You don't need to win or place in the top 100 — just clear the reward cutoff.

4
~70/week (top 10,000) Weekly

Arena ranking (PvP)

Arena PvP hands out Pyroxenes weekly based on your final rank if you stay in the top 10,000 players. You don't need to win every battle — just defend a decent position throughout the week to collect the reward when the ranking resets.

5
Variable, sizeable amounts Variable

Story and Mission Events

Limited-time Story Events and Mission Events hand out substantial amounts of Pyroxenes for clearing their stages and side tasks before the event ends. Since they're time-limited, they're not a fixed monthly source, but they're usually the biggest single boost of Pyroxenes you'll get if you manage to clear all the event content before it closes.

6
One-time, per chapter Once

Main Story and Bond Stories (first clear)

Clearing each stage of the Main Story and Bond Stories for the first time (on Normal, Hard, and Very Hard) awards a one-time Pyroxene reward. It's a finite income that runs out as you progress, but it's key for new accounts or whenever the game adds new chapters.

7
~240–840 per incident Variable

Redeem codes and maintenance compensation

Nexon occasionally releases redeem codes through official social media, and typically compensates players with Pyroxenes (usually between 240 and 840, depending on severity and duration) when there are bugs or unscheduled maintenance. It's not a source you can plan around, but it's worth keeping an eye on Blue Archive's official X and Facebook accounts.

How much free Pyroxenes can you get per month?

SourceEstimated amountFrequency
Daily missions~600Daily
Weekly missions~480Weekly
Total Assault (raid)~2,400Biweekly
Arena ranking (PvP)~280Weekly
Estimated total~3,760 Pyroxenes a month

Community estimate based only on guaranteed recurring sources (missions, Total Assault, and Arena); it doesn't include events, first-clear story rewards, or redeem codes, which are one-off and vary month to month. Some guides mention up to 12,000 monthly Pyroxenes for an active F2P player, but that figure also includes temporary event content, so it isn't guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions

How many Pyroxenes do I need for a guaranteed pull in Blue Archive?

The pity system kicks in once you've accumulated 200 recruitment points on the same banner, which equals 200 individual pulls — that is, 24,000 Pyroxenes if you pull only with free currency, without using recruitment tickets.

How much free Pyroxenes can an F2P player earn per month in Blue Archive?

Combining only the recurring sources (daily and weekly missions, Total Assault, and Arena), the community estimates around 3,500–3,800 Pyroxenes a month. Adding in temporary events and one-off compensation, some very active players get close to 12,000, though that part isn't guaranteed month to month.

Do Blue Archive's redeem codes give Pyroxenes?

Yes, Nexon occasionally publishes promo codes on the game's official social media that you redeem from the options menu, and they usually include Pyroxenes along with other materials. There's no fixed schedule, so it's worth following the official X and Facebook accounts.
